Well, Big J, I smoked up all the profits and had to buy this with Drill Jig Money!! The feds just dropped a bomb on all the states that had legal stores and just shut them all down.

$5554.68 COMPLETE LESS GEARBOX.
Not as good as before the surgery, two years later and still have incision and bone pain in the chest.
Health is good and strength is as good as a 63 year old can expect.
Thank you for asking :)

Made me an overflow tank for the 582.
I vented the cap so there will be no pressure in this tank.
Wouldn't want it to leak !!!!

Jake.....smear a large amount of white silicone on all of the welds (maybe 2 coats ?) This will improve the looks & prevent leaks.

What do you think ? Duct tape helps too !

Nice job !
 
I like your idea !!
Should I put the Duct tape over the silicon or put the silicon over the duct tape? !! Hahaha
That's why I use flat black. My workmanship sucks and the paint hides most of the unsightly details :)
Thank Chris
 
Just remember nothing screams poor workmanship like wrinkles in the duct tape.

I buy duct tape by the case,and I also prefer flat black.
